Byrd ordered to be quiet!
Universum Box-Promotion has arranged through a regional court in Berlin a court order for IBF heavyweight champion Chris Byrd to stop claiming that Wladimir Klitschko had a chemical substance on his gloves in their October 2000 fight. Byrd and Klitschko, who meet again this weekend, previously fought for the WBO title nearly six years ago with Klitschko winning a lopsided decision by scores of 120-106, 119-107, 118-108, knocking down Byrd twice in the process. Byrd has maintained since 1993 and again this weekend that there was a substance on Klitschko's gloves that made his face swell up, an allegation that is vehemently denied by Universum, Klitschko's promoter at the time.
